I officially announce that Lux and Nox are leaving the RP (For the reason that they were poorly made and literally most of the time they stay like statues and I mean literally.) by the end of the RP day, yet in their place I am currently creating another character who'll be more talkative and interactive with those around him.The RP master and the mods agreed with that.

I have yet to go far enough north to find a place where there can't be a pool... Ithaca college provides one for students and that place is an ice box after August.... I've been to Toronto in May and roasted in 96 degree weather... Unless Exotic Acres is happily resting on the edge of occupiable Canada, somewhere in Alaska or in Russia... i think a public pool exists, especially being a pre planned community, as those tend to have many public assets planned in...

Tha basement trampoline.... i hope theres a 30 foot deep basement or that the trampoline is exceedingly small...

Re: Pet Friendly: Exotic Acres OOC

I fixed the basement trampoline mistake, i didn't really think that one out before posting it. Also The pool thing. There is no pool, since there would have to be a lifeguard there at all time while its open. (i would know since im a lifeguard) And who would pay that lifeguard? Not Dennis. Not the city.

Generally speaking, there are a few approaches taken to the lifeguard issue:

1. The pool is owned by the local YMCA: A. Lifeguard is paid by YMCA. B. YMCA is paid by various memberships to itself. C. Non YMCA Members pay a small fee for pool access. D. A snackbar supplements income.

2. The pool is privately owned as a business A. A small fee is charged for admission. B. A snackbar supplements income.

3. The pool is a community asset A. Residents' tax dollars pay for the pool B. A snackbar supplements income. C. Non-residents pay a small fee for admission.

In general, any of these would be able to provide plenty of money to pay for pool upkeep and life guards. In my hometown, I think the YMCA actually makes a profit off of the pool, between admission costs and the snackbar... That and given the amount of money the locals would have, being able to afford exotic animals and whatnot... I would imagine a community pool's funding is considered small change.

Re: Pet Friendly: Exotic Acres OOC

Or... You just have a "no lifeguard on duty" sign...

Funding is still needed to keep the pool water clean, unless we go with the community doing that or have a community creek or lake... Public lakes don't need lifeguards, just 'no lifeguard' signs... especially the State Parks.

Re: Pet Friendly: Exotic Acres OOC

Ok, I understand more now, but i still don't think that there needs to be a public pool. Why isn't private pools good enough for you?

I'm an OCD person, mentally I picture what would be an ideal set up and what seems to make sense to me. Everyone owning a private pool is impractical and in some housing situations possibly about impossible or not worthwhile... RP wise, that means if a group is desiring to go to the pool, either someone in the group has one OR they need to invade what another person is doing to use theirs... Which just seems silly to me when speaking in design of the community in the rp, there is no reason for it..

this is a neighborhood where everyone can afford an exotic pet, I imagine every character would have a pool, eliminating the problems you mentioned because for every group, there is a pet with a pool.

Re: Pet Friendly: Exotic Acres OOC

There's no public pool in BsM. Actually, there's never even been demand for an actual pool (except once, recently, with Darin) There's a few ponds and lakes out in the preserve, but no one bothers too much about it...

Sometimes your characters have to deal with the conflict of not having everything they want when they want it. It's more interesting that way...
